Comrade Molotov!

Just now learned from a protocol of the Small Soviet that there exists a "Rest Home of the Council of People's Commissars" and that it is located "under the jurisdiction of the Administrative Directorate of the SNK."

Sapronov writes to me that there was supposedly a decision on this matter from the old Orgburo.

This needs to be verified.

I consider this incorrect.

I propose to rescind it through the Orgburo and to decree:

1) this rest home should be under the jurisdiction of the People's Commissariat of Health;

2) the administration should be appointed by the Orgburo of the Central Committee;

3) the name should be "Rest Home No. [such-and-such]" (since there are many rest homes).
(I know that not only commissars rested there.)
